Lisa Thompson and Susie Vergenz hosted the cutest little swap. I mean little, as in tiny, adorably bitty, itsy treasures. A mini matchbox Advent calendar. I have resisted the urge to open any of these small marvels to peak at what's inside. I have always been one to love surprises. I like to open my gifts last. Anticipation of the gift is the best part of any pretty package.So...I am waiting...one more day....I will post a pic of each teensy treat at the beginning of my posts. Some days that may be my only content but I am going to try to keep my promise and post something each day.A bit of Christmas anticipation. Love every second! Speaking of love, my big little boy (OK Joe sorry I just had to say it like I feel it, tee hee) will be 22 tomorrow!!!! The best Christmas gift ever. Happy Birthday Baby! If you would like to send him a bitsy greeting I will pass them along.

These blogs never cease to amaze me of the things that people will decorate!! I am in awe at some of the artwork!!Come on over & sign up for my blog giveaway of Southern Belle Pillowcases!!Happy Holidays!!Love,Marilyn

That's incredibly nicely put together ... I've noticed American ladies seem to have an eye for, and the ability to find funky semi-retro stuff like that... not like here. Also I once came across about a zillion "scrappers'" blogs ~ meaning keepers of scrapbooks. My Gran always did that, but hers involved magazine cut-outs. This American stuff was of another order. Very nice indeed. But they say America is bigger and better and when I get the hell out of my own (very historical, yes) country I think I'll go there!

Hello, I am Pam. Wife, mother, daughter, sister, artist, crafter, collector. Making an effort to cobble it all together into a life lived more frugally, less wastefully and with abundant happiness and love.
Frippery is the place I come to hash it all out with my kindred blogger spirits. Friends of the soul, mind and heart.
Frippery is also the name of my business, where pieces of the past are saved, re-loved, transformed and sent to live all fresh in a new home. Fluff, finery and nonsense may not be necessities but they enhance the journey. The journey being life.
